'Skyfall' Without Daniel Craig? Current James Bond Says "I've Been Trying to Get Out of This"

'Skyfall' is finally making its US debut this week, but it's already gone above and beyond at the UK box office.

Despite the film's successes, talk has recently shifted to Craig as he revealed that he -- how can we put this delicately? -- kind of hates portraying James Bond.

Express.co.uk is reporting that ‘Sherlock’ actor Benedict Cumberbatch is “expected to be signed up” for the next James Bond installment, which is [...]

Daniel Craig to Take on James Bond Two More Times… At Least

Being that James Bond is one of those characters that will never go out of style, it came as no surprise to learn that we’d be getting another movie installment of the franchise in 2014. The real mystery, though, was Daniel Craig‘s involvement. At the time this news broke, it wasn’t yet clear if our current 007 would be assuming the role again in the future, but now we can all rest assured that we’ll definitely be seeing Craig all tuxed up and sipping a martini… or a Heineken.
